Course Introduction

If your role includes Learning & Talent Development, then this is the ultimate course to take you to the next level of strategic influence, business alignment, consulting and performance. This is all about driving organisational performance by aligning your L&D/Talent initiatives with your organisation’s top priorities and building a learning organisation.

Aimed at L&D professionals as well as anyone in middle or senior management or HR with responsibility for developing talent, the course will help you to add more value through L&D/talent initiatives.

Effective learning and development is one of the most important keys to sustained organisational success. You’ll learn how to go beyond “training” and create effective and relevant learning and development opportunities, even building a learning organisation.

On this course, you will learn to increase your influence within your organisation and beyond, partner with key stakeholders, help managers to solve problems and achieve goals, enhance L&D’s brand and reputation, and demonstrate return on investment for your work.

You’ll learn to apply insights from neuroscience in order to make the learning more meaningful, relevant, engaging and participative. You’ll also explore how to help people transfer the learning from the learning event to the workplace. The full learning lifecycle will be explored, from learning needs analysis, to stateof- the-art design principles, to evaluating learning and demonstrating the value that it adds to the organisation. If you have an interest in driving performance through learning and talent development, then this course is for you.

Drawing on state-of-the-art research and latest thinking, the course will help you to both identify and communicate the link between L&D/talent and sustained organisational performance – a powerful business case. It will also help you to identify the steps you and your colleagues need to take to ensure greater strategic alignment in the future. On the talent front, you’ll have an opportunity to explore how winning organisations manage their talent and develop a plan to take your organisation to the next level in terms of talent development.
